I am still without camera and tried scanning my outfit but after hours spent trying to curl myself up to fit within the scanning frame, I decided I should scan my school folder collages for inspiration instead. Ignore those weird duct tape-looking marks, they're just cracks from when I attempted lying in fetal position on our printer.Also these are arranged as if they'd been scanned as whole, so the collages on the right are the covers.

Back cover: Natasha Poly in Proenza Schouler in T magazine, space photo from National Geographic. Front: Julianne Moore in A Single Man, mask girl from a W from a couple years ago,National Geographic space photos, the Ronettes, a photo from 1969 from an anniversary issue of Time, and a Chinese candy wrapper.FUN FACT: When I got that issue of Time, I recognized those sunglasses immediately -- they'd been at my Pop shoot, from the vintage store Decades. I like to pretend they're the same pair, but even though they're probably not, it's a crazy coincidence.

Back: Easy Rider poster, John Lennon/Yellow Submarine postcard, Barbie, Twiggy, Jane Fonda on the cover of Playboy, a random postcard, and Prince Charles on an old issue of Time. Front: Peter Max for T.

Hey, maybe we can study for Biology tests together even though I'm taking a specialized college course. ( ´△｀) I really hope you have a good high school experience. Crazy things happen in the void that is HIGH SCHOOL.

lady aya-Oops, thanks for the correction! I've had it since 4th grade when some kid brought in a bunch of candy to class, so I'd forgotten where it was from haha.

SVRVH-Ah, you're right! I cut it out forever ago and had googled the Shangri-Las to be sure I had remembered the magazine's caption...and STILL got it wrong. I need new glasses. Thanks for the correction!

They're all great, but I like the cover of your biology folder best! :-))

There's a nice sense of movement through it...the colours match up well...how the two ladies leaning back nearly hit their heads...how the hand's holding the ticket...how you fill the corners...and how you've played with scale (using female figures of various sizes).

I’m sure that the extravagantly moustachioed (Can this be a word? Can this be a correct spelling? It’s not reading as an error in my spell check?) artist on the back would approve.

You went to the Ghibli Museum! That's so cool. I went a couple years ago. Did you see those cool stained glass windows with the little black puff things from Spirited Away and Totoro? And do they still give you those sick little negative-like bookmark things for tickets?

I had a dream last night you were in a movie, yes I know it's weird and I promise dreaming of you is not a regular occurence haha but it was pretty cool! I don't remember anything else other than that.

so the tree one can see in some of your photos is actually a bonsai? thats sooooo cool. would be cooler still if bioengineering was way more advanced than it is today. you could sell life-sized clones of you that customers could carry around in their breast pockets or handbags. or you could design comfortable saddles for them. i guarantee it would be that thing for at least one season. them lil mons- ehm clones would give style advice and utter cynical/insightful/nonsensical remarks about whatever they see.^________^kinda got carried away here, beg your pardon. really like your folders. unfortunately they remind me of the ~3 Gig random pics i clustered to choose some i wanted to print and stick on my door. project is in preparation phase for more than 6 months now... damn you for reminding me... whatever, i babble BS, please enjoy school and everything else!

I wish you went to my school when I was your age...we would've been best friends, I swear! No one in my town understands fashion like you, me and the rest of the industry does...and I love your folders! I have to do this to each of mine, I was thinking of having a theme for each one! :]

I hope you don't think I'm weird saying all this buttt.. today I saw you at school. Yes, we go to the same school, and though I am a senior and you're a freshman, I admire you very much. I've been a fan of you for a while now and I think it's insane that we go to the same school. I saw you and literally gasped, wide-eyed.. i know.. dorky of me. and strangely (but very awesome-ly) you're friends with my best friend brother. sorry for the creepy comment but i wanted to let you know how cool i think you are.and awesome folders!

I really admire your fashion sense developed at a such a young age.I find your blog really inspiering and can`t wait to read new articles.I graduated Fine Arts Highschool-Ambiental design,and now I just got in at The National University of Fine Arts and Design-Industrial design section.If you want to chat about design,fashion in my country,I`m from Romania and i can keep you updated with the events here or highschool:P email me whenever you want here sugarcoated_flower@yahoo.com.I also started my oen blog http://eatdiamondsinthemorning.blogspot.comIt`s a work in progress but hope it`ll turn out interesting.:X

In doing this I can only expect to be ignored or hated, but I also need to stress I do it out of love. I am a fairly avid reader of your blog, and enjoy your writing immensely, which is why I have decided to continue fighting for my life-long goal of the general public knowing how and when to use "stationary" and "stationery".

This is a fascinating blog post. The best use I’ve made of a bean bags is on the deck of my small yacht as we sat at anchor in beautiful bays in the Whitsunday Islands. Best quality bean bags and bean bags chairs that will blow our mind. Thank you for sharing valuable information.
